Description:

Film and history have been intertwined since the invention of the moving image at the beginning of the 20th century. Whether in the cinematic depiction of historical events, or in the use of film to sway the course of history, the overlapping of these two disciplines has long been a source of scholarly and cultural fascination.

In this degree you will explore the key aspects of this relationship through modules that look at the representation of history in genres such as documentary and propaganda films, and modules that look at the history of cinema. You will explore world history alongside the history of film, critically engaging with the recording and reconstructing of historical events through visual media. You’ll also have access to resources like our on-campus television studio and the East Anglian Film Archive, which is owned and operated by UEA and where there are opportunities for practical experience in film-making and archival research.
